- 1 min read
The week was not exactly off to a great start with no counts conducted on the first 2 days due to snow. But, we made up for it later with some westerly winds and clear skies. The pick of the week was 3/25 with 143 migrants. Our first of years included American Goshawk, American Kestrel, Merlin, and Peregrine Falcon. Blackbirds and American Robins also made a good showing in the middle of the week, along with 2 Sandhill Cranes, Snow Buntings, Horned Larks, and Eastern Phoebe.
